End of the Year Party: You so nassty

Our school's end of the year party, (忘年会 - translated as the 'forget the year party'), was this past weekend, a little earlier than usual. Here is the basic set up of an end of the year party at my school:

• Greetings, everyone real quiet and relaxed
• Vice Principal and Principal give speeches, congratulating everyone on their hard work over the year
• KANPAI!
• Usually someone that's not really good at speaking in front of people begins to speak in front of everyone about the game that is to be played tonight and is roundly ignored by the people now hurriedly drinking their beers
• Bingo (I won a box of Qtips this year)
• Uncomfortably loud senseis become even more uncomfortably obnoxious, alcohol flows
• When it becomes time to wrap it up, everyone stands up and...
• BANZAI!

After the party ends, a lot of people go out to their own drinking places. I always get invited to hang out with the guys who live in my area. Can you imagine how hard it would be to not understand Japanese and be in this conversation?

I try to take notes at these after parties too, because you get the really good stuff here rather than in everyday life. Here's what I learned from my last one.

1. 教授 (kyouju) - Professor
2. 差しでお願いします (sashi de onegaishimasu) - Go head to head, face to face against someone
3. 鬼の居ぬ間の選択 (oni no inuma no sentaku) - Finally being able to say something when the master of the house has left the room/house

I don't know how this came up, but as we were drinking and exchanged our knowledge of profanities, this is what happened. (Watch for language!)
